Question:

Looking to purchase chains or cables for a 2021 Mazda 3 2.5 turbo AWD. Because of the low clearance not sure which would fit best. Picture added but not the best lighting for the front wheel well. Hope to hear from you soon.

Thanks for the photo, and your 2021 Mazda3 2.5 Turbo sedan should have 215/45R18 tires, though I do recommend verifying. If so, for limited wheel well clearance you will want Class S compatible snow tire chains, and for that I recommend an option from Konig:

- Konig Standard Snow Tire Chains - Diamond Pattern - D Link # TH01221097

These require just 12mm of internal clearance, and are diamond-pattern D-links which will give your '21 Mazda3 excellent traction on both snow and ice. The links are made from manganese nickel alloy steel so they are highly durable and resist corrosion, which means they are going to last.

There were at least 4 possible stock tire size options for the 2014 Infiniti Q60. I show that it could have 225/45-19, 225/50-18, 245/40-19, or 245/45-18 tires. Check the tire sidewall on your Q60 to determine the size. This will ensure you get the…

Both the Thule snow chains #TH2004205104 and #TH01221104 are Class S compatible so they will work in that regard. The S rating means they have a very low amount of clearance required to clear you steering and suspension components on your vehicle. I…
